Easy on the wallet
Though LG has not announced additional information about pricing and availability, we can expect these handsets to fall in line with other F-series phones, which hit somewhere around the $99 to $199 price range (or £64-£128 and AU$127-AU$255, conversion). Both phones will also have 4G and 3G variants.
